MOE. ANNOUNCES SNOE.DOWN

(Lake Placid, NY) -- moe. will host Snoe.down March 17-19, 2006. This event, which kicks off the week long Adirondack Almost Springfest celebration, will take place at the famed Olympic Center in Lake Placid, NY, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, and at nearby Whiteface.

Great Northeast Productions, the organizers behind all of Phish's legendary festivals, have joined with moe. to make Snoe.down a unique Winter event not to be missed.

As a very special treat for Snoe.down festival attendees, the Verizon Luge Challenge is sponsoring an outdoor performance featuring moe. on Saturday afternoon, March 18th, as well as indoor performances by other artists in the Whiteface Lodge throughout the weekend.

Verizon, a founding sponsor of USA Luge, is bringing the Verizon Luge Challenge to Whiteface Mountain March 18-19. Snoe.down attendees will be able to experience the Fastest Sport on Ice® in a safe slope-side setting, with help from USA Luge international medalists, athletes and coaches. Participation in the Verizon Luge Challenge is free, and no experience or lift ticket is required. Adults and children, aged ten and older – after learning the basics of accelerating, steering and stopping from USA Luge athletes and coaches – can take practice runs on a recreational version of a luge sled down a track complete with curves and timing equipment.

Additional artists will perform throughout the weekend, including:

SOULIVE: The funky organ trio brings their unique blend of soul, jazz and hip-hop evoking Earth, Wind & Fire, Sly & The Family Stone and Curtis Mayfield. The Woodstock, NY, based group has toured with Dave Mathews Band, the Roots and India.arie, and will open for the Rolling Stones in late January.

ASSEMBLY OF DUST: Formed in 2002 and led by Strangefolk founder Reid Genauer, Assembly of Dust will bring their "hick-funk" sound seamlessly weaving country, jazz and Motown grooves. Following moe.'s Saturday afternoon performance, Assembly of Dust will perform an intimate "Après Luge" set in the Whiteface Lodge.

TEA LEAF GREEN: The San Francisco jam based rock & roll band made their moe.down debut last summer to a tremendous response.

RYAN MONTBLEAU: Think Stevie Wonder meets Paul Simon. A jaw-dropping solo performer, as well as the front man of his own six-piece band, playing in both forms at Snoe.down.

Fans will be able to take advantage of a myriad of Lake Placid winter activities. Day skiing and snowboarding at nearby Whiteface will be available from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The Olympic Center arena will open at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. During the concerts fans will even have the option of ice skating while listening to the show!
